Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 153 – The horse is lost again

On the other side of the river, the ancient town's people, including Zhou Bo, looked at Su Yun's skillful killing of the five people and walked into the city with strange expressions.

"Is this immortal power?" Zhou Bo asked.

"Not immortal power, but it's better than immortal power," the tea master in the tea shop next to him whispered, "This is what Qiu Tai Chang wants to achieve, to refine an ordinary person's body to be like an immortal body. Immortal power and immortal arts are not as good as this kind of technique..."

The old cow eating grass on the street forgot to swallow, looking up at the direction Su Yun left, murmured, "What the emperor wants is this kind of immortal technique, right? If he continues to cultivate like this, will he live forever?"

The chef in the restaurant's eyes flickered, "If Qiu Tai Chang creates an immortal technique that can make people live forever, then..."

Just then, Xue Qingfu walked out of the Saint's residence, and everyone in the town changed their smiling faces and greeted Xue Qingfu respectfully.

Xue Qingfu smiled back one by one, not looking down on them because of their low status. The town was full of laughter and joy.

Zhou Bo prepared the car and planned to tie up the old cow, asking, "Is the master planning to go out?"

Xue Qingfu smiled, "Left Supervisor has been worried about Su Yun staying with me for the past few days, so he has been monitoring me for ten days. His eyes are poisonous and make me uncomfortable, so I'm going out for a walk. You don't need to tie up the car, I'll walk along the river for a few steps."

Zhou Bo followed him with the old cow and said, "Su Shi's skills are really outstanding."

"Of course."

Xue Qingfu smiled, "Qiu Shuijing is creating an immortal technique. Maybe he will succeed this time and make people live forever like immortals. It's strange to say that when Qiu Tai Chang and the others went to study the Tianmen and opened the immortal world, they died in the great calamity. The emperor ordered people to take the Chaotian Que, which recorded the method of opening the immortal world, but it was never found. Could it be that the Chaotian Que fell into Qiu's hands..."

He frowned and didn't continue, smiling, "Am I just overthinking it? Qiu Tai Chang wasn't even in Tian Shi Yuan at that time."

Zhou Bo and the old cow lowered their heads and stopped talking.

Xue Qingfu looked across the river, his eyes flashing, and whispered, "That is the Chaotian Que that can open the immortal world in all directions. It records the secrets of longevity researched by the top experts like Qiu Tai Chang and Yuan Shuo. Unfortunately, how did it disappear... By the way, Old Zhou, how long have you been following me?"

Zhou Bo was about to speak, but suddenly saw a short and sturdy old man walking towards them with his hands behind his back, and quickly bowed and stepped back.

Zuo Songyan glanced at Zhou Bo and the old cow and smiled, "The servants and cows of the Saint's family are all top-notch experts, envy-inducing."

Xue Qingfu sighed, "If Old Piaozi is envious, he can come to my house for a few days."

Zuo Songyan shook his head, "I won't go. If I go, I'll grow a few hairs on my body, and the Emperor of Dongdu will know all about it."

Xue Qingfu smiled bitterly, "It's not that clear. Those maids won't climb onto your bed to count your hairs..."

Zuo Songyan's face looked strange as he tried, "They haven't climbed on it?"

Xue Qingfu hesitated for a moment and answered truthfully, "They have, but I was worried about my reputation being damaged, so I kicked them out. Otherwise, it's really possible to count them all."

Zuo Songyan laughed loudly, and his laughter echoed on the river surface.

Xue Qingfu smiled and waited for his laughter to subside before saying, "Qiu Shuijing may not necessarily walk with us to the end. He is likely to be called back to Dongdu by the emperor and reinstated in his position."Zuo Songyan frowned: "The emperor has summoned him. With only us and the Shaofang Marquis, we can't stop the retaliation of the seven great clans. At this critical moment, we must not recall Qiu Shuijing no matter what! The emperor of the Eastern Capital is not a tyrant!"

Xue Qingfu laughed: "We'll know in a few days whether the emperor of the Eastern Capital is a tyrant or not. Left Chief, do you want to make a bet?"

Zuo Songyan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "How do you want to bet?"

...

Shaofang Lin Family.

Lin Qingsheng returned to the Lin Family in a daze, sitting there motionless, with no signs of life in his eyes.

Lin Zhiyuan frowned and felt uneasy. He hurriedly sought out Lin Gaoyi, the old immortal of the Lin Family, and said, "My son has had a duel with the imperial envoy named Su, and they will fight to the death in front of the Shaofang Academy in fourteen days. My son is now full of despair and has lost all interest. I am afraid that his cultivation will suffer greatly, and he has no chance of winning the battle in half a month. I beg the old ancestor to give us guidance!"

Lin Gaoyi came to see Lin Qingsheng and smiled, "Qingsheng, crisis is both danger and opportunity. You only see that you are not his opponent at the same level, but you have not seen that he is in the first realm, while you have already cultivated to the sixth realm. As long as you take one step further during these fourteen days and cultivate to the realm of Yuan Movement, the gap between him and you will be insurmountable, even if he is a genius, he will be defeated under your fingertips!"

Lin Qingsheng's eyes flickered with a hint of hope, "Old ancestor, can I cultivate to the realm of Yuan Movement within fourteen days?"

"No, you can't," Lin Gaoyi said decisively, "You have only entered the realm of Yun Ling for two years, and it was not long ago that you cultivated to the sixth realm. It is almost impossible to break through to the realm of Yuan Movement in fourteen days!"

Lin Qingsheng's face suddenly turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Lin Gaoyi gently patted his back and said with a smile, "But there is nothing absolute in this world. The Grey Tribulation is the transformation of the elemental energy of the previous world, and it can greatly enhance your elemental energy. If you use the Grey Tribulation to cultivate, and combine it with the True Dragon Technique, you can cultivate to the realm of Yuan Movement in these short fourteen days!"

Lin Qingsheng remembered that Su Yun had once used the Grey Tribulation to enhance his cultivation, and he couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope.

Lin Gaoyi's eyes flickered, "Tong Qingyun is an old friend of mine. He has already reached an agreement with the Grey Tribulation Monster. Follow me to his house, and the Grey Tribulation Monster will personally teach you how to use the Grey Tribulation to cultivate."

Lin Qingsheng was overjoyed and repeatedly kowtowed to Lin Gaoyi.

Lin Gaoyi took him to Tong's Immortal Residence. Tong Qingyun ordered someone to take Lin Qingsheng to a secret room in the Immortal Residence. There was a mirror hanging in the room, and Tong Qingyun gestured for Lin Qingsheng to enter the mirror.

Lin Qingsheng felt uneasy in his heart, but when he entered the mirror, he found himself in a spiritual world, which was extremely vast. Many spiritual masters were following a burly Grey Tribulation Monster to cultivate and learn how to use the Grey Tribulation to enhance their mana!

The Grey Tribulation Monster had a body like a cartwheel, with wings on its back, and looked strange.

Lin Qingsheng was stunned to see that many of these spiritual masters were scholars from the seven great clans!

In addition to the scholars from the seven great clans, he also saw some soldiers from local armies!

These people were following the Grey Tribulation Monster to cultivate, and their bodies were undergoing subtle changes. Their bones were exposed, and their appearance was becoming more and more strange!

"It's better than dying in Su's hands!" Lin Qingsheng gritted his teeth and joined the crowd, following the Grey Tribulation Monster to cultivate.In the center of the Immortal's Residence, Tong Qingyun and Lin Gaoyi were sitting, while the Immortal Tong was standing by the side waiting.

Lin Gaoyi sighed, "I don't want Shen'er to become a dead soldier, but unfortunately, he followed the Jiehui monster to cultivate and absorb the power of the Jiehui. It won't be long before he becomes neither human nor ghost."

Tong Qingyun smiled, "But his strength will also increase."

He stood up and said leisurely, "If we can use one life of the Lin family to exchange for one life of Su Shangshi, it's a blood profit no matter how you count it."

Lin Gaoyi laughed heartily, "That's right, it's a blood profit! Lin Gaoyi's battle with Su Shangshi seemed to have delayed his time, but in fact, we were delaying time!"

He stood up and said coldly, "He thought he could calculate us, but he didn't expect us to assimilate more Ling masters with the Jiehui monster, and there are more Jiehui monsters on the grassland, forming a large army to come!"

Tong Qingyun's eyes flickered and said, "Don't underestimate Su Shangshi. This man is very cunning and has a maturity and cunning beyond his age."

Lin Gaoyi smiled, "But what about us? We have lived for one hundred and fifty years longer than him. How could he possibly calculate us? Qingyun, think about what we did one hundred and fifty years ago?"

He laughed triumphantly.

Tong Qingyun smiled, "We did a good job one hundred and fifty years ago. In the future, we will do even better! This world will eventually belong to us!"

Wen Chang Academy.

Su Yun returned to the Ge Wu Academy and saw that most of the Ge Wu Academy had been repaired, but the last large hall was still unfinished. The dumb senior brother and those wooden Ling masters were nowhere to be found.

Ye Luo, Li Zhuxian, Bai Yuelou, and Wu Tong were all in the Ge Wu Academy, each studying on their own and not interfering with each other.

Bai Yuelou learned from Xue Qingfu and often went to Qiu Shuijing's place to listen to lectures. Wu Tong was a human demon and went to Qiu Shuijing's place to listen to lectures when he had money. Li Zhuxian and Ye Luo were both descendants of aristocratic families and often went to Qiu Shuijing's place to listen to lectures.

Especially Ye Luo, because he was the envoy sent by the emperor and had to monitor Qiu Shuijing while also seeking his advice. Therefore, he ran particularly frequently.

Qiu Shuijing even suspected whether Su Yun was his disciple or they were his disciples. Su Yun had only been to Qiu Shuijing's Immortal's Residence once, while the four people in the Ge Wu Academy of Wen Chang Academy almost went there every day.

"The Wen Chang Emperor's Hall was demolished by a horse, and the foreman took people to repair the Wen Chang Emperor's Hall."

Ye Luo said to Su Yun, "I heard that a few nights ago, the Wen Chang Emperor appeared and rode his golden body on a dragon to wander around Shuofang. The Emperor rode the dragon several times and went out at night and returned before dawn, tying the horse in the hall. Later, the horse was unhappy and demolished the Emperor's Hall when the Emperor didn't appear."

Su Yun was stunned and hesitated in his heart, "This horse has a fierce temper, and can only be ridden at night. Otherwise, I'll take Xiao Yao to fly around and send it back... "

Ye Luo continued, "Then yesterday, the Wen Chang Emperor rode his horse out again, and both the Emperor and the horse were lost."

Su Yun was still thinking about whether to send the dragon back to Dongling when he heard this and couldn't help but be stunned, "The Emperor and the horse are both lost?"

Ye Luo nodded and said, "Tumu Ming and Idle Cloud Taoist are still looking for them."Tonight at 8:30 pm, I will be live on Bilibili to answer questions from readers of "Lin Yuan Xing".
